The Hospital Charity will be launching its Never Far Away: Essex Appeal on 29th January in Chelmsford. This exciting new appeal aims to fund patient and family accommodation at GOSH, helping to keep families from Essex and across the UK together at often difficult times.
More than 53% of the children treated at GOSH come from outside London. Because the care they receive is so specialist, some need to stay for several months. Having a child in hospital is stressful enough without the added pressure of paying for hotels or train fares. So the hospital want to make sure that parents and carers can stay in nearby accommodation free of charge.
The launch is being held on Tuesday 29th January at 6.30pm at Cedd`s Hall, Chelmsford Cathedral,
CM1 1EH (a short walk from Chelmsford train station, and car parks are located nearby)
For more information visit www.gosh.org/nfa or contact Neverfaraway@gosh.org.

ReplyDeleteHello Krishna, it is, they do wonderful work looking after sick children.
DeleteThat is such a worthwhile fund raising launch - I hope that they raise lots of money.
ReplyDeleteMe too, I can't go tomorrow, but will make a donation.
DeleteA worthy cause! On one of my trips to London I visited the Foundling Hospital Museum, that I think is not too far. Did you ever visit? It was so interesting and moved me no end.

Hello Amalia, no I haven't visited. There is so much to see and do in London. I hope to make more of an effort to visit this year.
